So what have I been doing the past few days? Looking back, it wasn’t all that much special stuff. I sat in the garden and read Jacqueline Carey’s Naamah’s Kiss which was a lot of fun (although I would have been just as fine if Moirin had stayed in the City of Elua, I didn’t really care for the whole China storyline) on Tuesday.
On Wednesday I pretty much chilled out some extra. We barbecued up some of the leftovers from the bbq party… lazed around in the heat, because the weather’s been borderline unbearable hot this week. I did heaps of laundry (that still has to be folded and ironed, sadly enough), and Thursday Olli had the day off and he wanted To Do Something And Get Out Of The House. Since he isn’t all that much for the beach, we basically just went for a walk. We hiked to Voorburg in the sweltering heat, and then took a bus to Rijswijk where we scored some network cables at the Boogaard. We just basically took it easy and had drinks, and then walked through Rijswijk back to tram 15 at the Herenstraat. By then I was pretty drenched with sweat (and read ‘totally’ where I said ‘pretty’) so when we got home Olli turned on the garden hose and sprayed me completely wet. I dried up pretty quickly, too. We made caipirinha cocktails from the bottle of rum that I got for my birthday from Nathalie last year, and all in all we had a great time.
And Friday we’ve been helping Kat and Tijs in their new apartment. There are better times in the year to be painting houses, but oh well, it has to be done, sweltering heat or no. That’s what friends are for, right? Also, there was beer afterwards 
And for this weekend… I dunno… cleaning, laundry, some more Rock Band 2, and I think I’m going to need to sit down with my bass of awesomeness and figure out how to play it. The boys are pretty insistent that I gotta play with them at the next jamsession, so let’s get down and dirty.
